Well, Eve wouldn't have thought about eating that one gosh darn apple if the nasty nasty snake hadn't inserted that idea into her non-free-thinking brain, and more than that but also persuading her to do it.

firstly, it wasnt an apple, it never says it was an apple. people need to read the text before referencing it. secondly there is no evidence that this particular god, of the thousands of gods from other cultures throughout history, even exist at all. there's simply not a shred of evidence for any of these fairy tales. the bible is mythic story telling that is able to persuade people to believe in almost anything thier priests, pastors, reverends etc tell them. wake the **** up humanity, and get a ************* education. inb4 grammar nazi's, of course... :P
